Chennai, Aug 30 (IANS) India’s middle-order batsman Yuvraj Singh is only going through a bad phase in his career and will certainly make an impact in the 2011 World Cup, says legendary Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan.
Speaking on the sidelines of a function here Monday to felicitate him on his achievement of 800 Test wickets, Muralitharan said Yuvraj was only going through a bad phase that afflicts every cricketer.
‘Yuvraj is a great batsman. All cricketers go through bad phases. I think, the media has to be careful in criticising him. This has put a lot of pressure on him and he is reacting. But he will certainly make an impact at the World Cup,’ he said.
Yuvraj scored only 75 runs in four matches with a highest of 38 and averaging 18.75.
